FLARING WORK AND CONNECTION OF PIPING

ENGLISH

Flaring work

Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect in flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure.

Cut the pipes and the cable

- Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes pur­chased locally.

- Measure the distance between the indoor
and the outdoor unit.

- Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.

- Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe
length.

Burrs removal

- Completely remove all burrs from the cut
cross section of pipe/tube.

- Put the end of the copper tube/pipe in a
downward direction as you remove burrs in
order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.

Putting nut on

- Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube
having completed burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after flaring
work)

Flaring work

- Carry out flaring work using flaring tool as
shown below.

Use round pressure terminals for connections to the power terminal block.

When none are available, follow the instructions below.

- Do not connect wiring of different thicknesses to the power terminal block. (Slack in the power
wiring may cause abnormal heat.)

- When connecting wiring which is the same thickness, do as shown in the figure below.

- For wiring, use the designated power wire and connect firmly, then secure to prevent outside
pressure being exerted on the terminal block.

- Use an appropriate screwdriver for tightening the terinal screws. A screwdriver with a small
head will strip the head and make proper tighterning impossible.

- Over-tightening the terminal screws may break them.

- If you want to connect an additional drain
hose, the end of the drain outlet should be
routed above the ground. Secure the drain
hose appropriately.

In cases where the outdoor unit is installed
below the indoor unit perform the following.

1 Tape the piping, drain hose and connecting

cable from down to up.

2 Secure the tapped piping along the exterior

wall using saddle or equivalent.

AIR PURGING AND EVACUATION

ENGLISH

Check that each tube(both liquid and gas side
tubes) between the indoor and outdoor units
have been properly connected and all wiring
for the test run has been completed. Remove
the service valve caps from both the gas and
the liquid side on the outdoor unit. Check that
both the liquid and the gas side service valves
on the outdoor unit are kept closed at this
stage.

Connect the manifold valve(with pressure
gauges) and dry nitrogen gas cylinder to this
service port with charge hoses.

CAUTION

Be sure to use a manifold valve for leakage
test. If it is not available, use a stop valve for
this purpose. The "Hi" knob of the manifold
valve must always be kept close.

- Pressurize the system to no more than
551 P.S.I.G. with dry nitrogen gas and
close the cylinder valve when the gauge
reading reached 551 P.S.I.G. Next, test
for leaks with liquid soap.

!

CAUTION

To avoid nitrogen entering the refrigerant
system in a liquid state, the top of the
cylinder must be higher than its bottom
when you pressurize the system. Usually,
the cylinder is used in a vertical standing
position.

!

- Do a leakage test of all joints of the
tubing(both indoor and outdoor) and both gas
and liquid side service valves.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Be sure to wipe off
the soap with a clean cloth.

- After the system is found to be free of leaks,
relieve the nitrogen pressure by loosening
the charge hose connector at the nitrogen
cylinder. When the system pressure is
reduced to normal, disconnect the hose from
the cylinder.

The air and moisture remaining in the refriger­ant system have undesirable effects as indi­cated below.

- Pressure in the system rises.

- Operating current rises.

- Cooling(or heating) efficiency drops.

- Moisture in the refrigerant circuit may freeze
and block capillary tubing.

- Water may lead to corrosion of parts in the
refrigeration system.

Therefore, after evacuating the system, take a
leak test for the piping and tubing between
the indoor and outdoor unit.

This completes air purging with a vacuum pump.
The air conditioner is now ready to test run.

- With a service valve wrench, turn the valve
stem of liquid side valve counter-clockwise to
fully open the valve.

- Turn the valve stem of gas side valve counter­clockwise to fully open the valve.

- Loosen the charge hose connected to the gas
side service port slightly to release the pressure,
then remove the hose.

- Replace the flare nut and its bonnet on the gas
side service port and fasten the flare nut secure­ly with an adjustable wrench. This process is
very important to prevent leakage from the sys­tem.

not use Flammable gases. Otherwise, it
may cause fire or explosion.

- There is the risk of death, injury, fire or
explosion.

WARNING

!

Evacuation

- Connect the charge hose end described in
the preceding steps to the vacuum pump to
evacuate the tubing and indoor unit.
Confirm the "Lo" knob of the manifold valve

The combination of indoor unit is to be decided that the sum of indoor unit capacity index must
be smaller than the maximum combination capacity of outdoor unit. We recommend to calculate
indoor unit capacity like below.

If you do not follow our recommendation, it will have some problems in low ambient condition
i.e. some indoor unit will not be able to heat very well in heating mode.

CALCULATION METHOD FOR THE CONNECTABLE TOTAL CAPACITY OF INDOOR UNIT

Sum up the capacity of all indoor unit, but high static duct type indoor unit capacity weights 1.3

the seaside, direct exposure to the sea wind
should be avoided. Install the outdoor unit on
the opposite side of the sea wind direction.

In case, to install the outdoor unit on the
seaside, set up a windbreak not to be
exposed to the sea wind.

- It should be strong enough like concrete to
prevent the sea wind from the sea.

- The height and width should be more than
150% of the outdoor unit.

- It should be keep more than 70 cm of space
between outdoor unit and the windbreak for
easy air flow.

Place with fluent water draining

- Install at a place with fluent water draining to
prevent damage from localized heavy rain
and avoid frequent flooded area.

SEASONAL WIND AND
CAUTIONS IN WINTER

- Sufficient measures are required in a snow
area or severe cold area in winter so that
product can be operated well.

- Get ready for seasonal wind or snow in win­ter even in other areas.

- Install a suction and discharge duct not to let
in snow or rain.

- Install the outdoor unit not to come in con­tact with snow directly. If snow piles up and
freezes on the air suction hole, the system
may malfunction. If it is installed at snowy
area, attach the hood to the system.

- Install the outdoor unit at the higher installa­tion console by 50cm than the average
snowfall (annual average snowfall) if it is
installed at the area with much snowfall.

- Where snow accumulated on the upper part
of the Outdoor Unit by more than 10cm,
always remove snow for operation.

Windbreak

• Periodic ( more than once/year ) clean­ing of the dust or salt particles stuck on
the heat exchanger by using water.

• Air conditioners should not be installed
in areas where corrosive gases, such as
acid or alkaline gas, are produced.

• Do not install the product where it could
be exposed to sea wind (salty wind)
directly. It can result corrosion on the
product. Corrosion, particularly on the
condenser and evaporator fins, could
cause product malfunction or inefficient
performance.

• If outdoor unit is installed close to the
seaside, it should avoid direct exposure
to the sea wind. Otherwise it needs
additional anticorrosion treatment on the
heat exchanger.

Airborne Noise Emission

The A-weighted sound pressure emitted by
this product is below 70 dB.

** The noise level can vary depending on the

site.

The figures quoted are emission level and are
not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst
there is a correlation between the emission
and exposure levels, this cannot be used reli­ably to determine whether or not further pre­cautions are required. Factor that influence
the actual level of exposure of the workforce
include the characteristics of the work room
and the other sources of noise, i.e. the num­ber of equipment and other adjacent process­es and the length of time for which an opera­tor exposed to the noise. Also, the permissi­ble exposure level can vary from country to
country. This information, however, will
enable the user of the equipment to make a
better evaluation of the hazard and risk.

Limiting concentration

Limiting concentration is the limit of Freon gas
concentration where immediate measures can
be taken without hurting human body when
refrigerant leaks in the air. The limiting con­centration shall be described in the unit of
kg/m3(Freon gas weight per unit air volume)
for facilitating calculation.
